Teaching my son about video editing... and Pole Position II

[gorfcadet]

Hope posting this is ok. Just thought I'd share a youtube video I made with my kids today. My son wants to be a filmmaker and I'm using that as an excuse to play 7800 while I teach him the basics. The twins also got involved.

 

Hope everyone is having a terrific weekend! I plan on going through the library and doing reviews of each 7800 title; today was supposed to be Pole Position II, but my kids weren't having it. I'll have to start working on that during their nap-time going forward.

Is that captured through emulation?

 

Edit*** - Nope once I brought it up full screen I could see this was a capture. Looks good and seeing your interaction with your kids is awesome! Lucky kiddos.

Yeah, I prefer real hardware when possible; some games capture better than others because graphics based on crt interlacing. PPIIs lanes and road bumpers definitely stand out on a capture card. Eventually, Ill get a Framemeister or something like it.

Right now its S-video through a Diamond capture device.

Here is my review of Pole Position II for 7800. Hope anyone here who has the time enjoys it! Please let me know what you think. I teach journalism and majored in mass comm back in college. I'm doing these because I love gaming and I wanted to have some sample videos to teach my students and my son the basics of video editing.
